Community Tasting Note

90 Points

Tuesday, March 26, 2024 - Appearance - beautiful deep ruby. From the color I would be thing black fruit notes vs your typical Grenache which we know is red fruit. Medium intensity

Nose - medium minus intensity. You need to swirl and pull the note. Clean, very youthful. Feels a bit separate. Components are the but from the nose suspec it’s not ready yet for prime time. Stemmy red fruit. Berries. Definitely feel the alcohol on the nose.

Palate - wow on palate. Pop of flavor and acidity and it all pulls together in away that is fresh and enticing. Juicy. With a oak sizzle on the back palate and swallow. Ripe red fruits. Berries. Raspberry. Plums. Acidity is medium plus. Finish is medium plus if not long. Tannins are not really perceptible but you taste the time in oak and it rounds out the finish. Very balanced on palate. Body is medium.

This is a lovely wine. I do think more time waiting would pay off as there is more to show for this wine. To me this is wine you buy and hold for a bit longer. Maybe I’m drinking too soon.
